Allianz Malaysia, through its Allianz4Good initiative, supports PERKOBP (Pertubuhan Keluarga Orang-Orang Bermasalah Pembelajaran), a non-profit helping those with learning difficulties, notably by funding a solar panel installation project to reduce operating costs. Employees also volunteer at their center, assisting with vocational training activities like baking and arts and crafts. facebook

Key Aspects of Allianz-PERKOBP Collaboration:

Sustainability Project: Allianz4Good is supported the installation of solar panels to enhance energy efficiency and reduce operational expenses for the non-profit.

Employee Volunteering: Allianz Malaysia volunteers have participated in community engagement activities, such as baking, preparing meals, and organizing guided painting sessions for PERKOBP beneficiaries.

Support for Learning Difficulties: PERKOBP works with people with learning difficulties to develop skills for independent living, providing structured vocational training and artistic activities. linkedin

The collaboration aims to empower the community and provide practical support for sustainable operations at PERKOBP.

In May 2025, solar panels costing RM56,800 were installed at PERKOBP by EPE Energy Sdn. Bhd., fully sponsored by Allianz Malaysia.

Five volunteers from Allianz Malaysia volunteered at PERKOBP. During the visit, the volunteers assisted in engaging motor skills activities with the beneficiaries such as baking banana chocolate muffins, lunch and tea meals preparations, as well as guided tile watercolor painting. It was a good and humbling avenue for community engagement while allowing the volunteers to see the beneficiaries’ resilience through a different lens. linkedin

Link to Malaysian care

Malaysian CARE has supported PERKOBP even before its formal establishment. It provided advice and guidance in drafting PERKOBP’s constitution and assisted with its registration with the Registrar of Societies. Malaysian CARE also helped establish the PERKOBP Employment Training Centre (ETC) and provided two support staff to assist with training and to guide the day-to-day operations of the centre for three years.

After three decades, Malaysian CARE staff have returned to support the expansion and redevelopment of vocational training and services. PERKOBP is truly grateful for the partnership, support, and contributions of Malaysian CARE.
